This is really interesting…

Just bought my plane ticket home for Christmas, 22nd (night) to the 29th (uber early) and hopefully I’ll get to fly on one of these new bad boys from Horizon!  On a side note, that means I will have completed 8 round trip flights this year (which doesn’t even get into the places I drove).  Let’s do a quick Q & A.  Q:  Do I think that is too many  A: Yes

This is really interesting…

Steph bought some Halloween candy on Sunday, and one was mini packages of gummy bears.  I thought to myself “I wish the gummy bears were also mini, not just the package”, and it turns out I was right!  They are DElicious!  Obviously any halloween candy you buy on October 3rd doesn’t have a chance of making it to the 31st, but these endangered little bears barely even stand a chance of making it to the weekend.

This is really interesting…

Among the costume contests at Amazon this year is a pet contest.  I’m not sure if Seeley can pull off the wolf again, but that’s a lot cheaper than the 8 seconds she got out of the ninja costume 2 years ago

Shout out to…

Miller because I never give him a shout out for being at karaoke, even though I make him sing every single song with me.  Maybe we should change the name of the song to “any man of ours”?

The soapbox…

If I had to pick my #1 favorite song of all time, it might be “good vibrations” by Marky Mark AND the funky bunch.

Shout out to…

The Montana State Bobcats and University of Washington Huskies!!  I asked for 2 big road wins and got them!  If I would have known it was that easy I would have asked for a griz and oregon loss as well but what can ya do.  This is actually the first time I can remember both the huskies and cats winning on the same Thursday, and both were pretty darn stressful.  Started out the day watching the Cats win 64-61 in overtime in true cardiac fashion, then UW beat usc 32-31 with Locker’s 300+ pass and 100+ rush game just in time to get to the mariners game in the 8th inning to see Jake and Sean.

Lately I’m thinking…

If you ever want to get a really good seat at a Mariners game for free, try showing up in the 8th inning on the 2nd to last game when they’re 98 games out of first place playing the A’s…worked for me

Shout out to…

Myself, obviously, for getting the halloween decorations up yesterday.  Be careful coming to our house or you might be scared! (and I don’t mean because of our neighbors).

Currently Watching…

I’m completely hooked on Dexter, chugging through the first season now.  And did anything even really happen in Boardwalk Empire last night?  Because if it did I guess I missed it

The soapbox…

It’s mega-fall right now

Shout out to…

The new Reader of the Week….Morgan Neal-Tape!!  Mogran is seen here in probably one of the best 3 to 1 ratio pictures of all time, but also probably the worst “4-1” ratio pictures of all time.  Morgan enjoys sports, tailgating and design, which is probably why we’re friends.  She also enjoys putting up with skeelo after a tailgate, but then again who doesn’t.  Congrats and I owe you 1 free Rainier tall can at Leny’s next thursday!

This is really interesting…

Steph came and met me for lunch yesterday and had Seeley with her so we took here as well.  We parked the car, and then started to cross the intersection at a four way stop and BAM seeley started pooping.  She pooped right in the middle of the street, and the guy waiting at the stop sign had to sit there until she was done and we cleaned it up.  Nature?

Shout out to…

Cam, skeelo and kellen for coming by Karaoke last night.  Lot of crowd pleasing songs out of that bunch, including an emotional rendition of “on bended knee” by boyz II men.  On a side note, I think someone told me last night that I wasn’t a very good singer

Shout out to…

The Dawgs and the Cats!  Could really go for a couple huge road wins in California this weekend.

The soapbox…

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!!!!!  Unfortunately Erin Andrews and I caught up last night as part of media day before the playoffs get started
Erin Andrews:  Did you kick yesterday?  It says you got on base 0 times
Blade:  yes I kicked 4 times.  one went of my shin.  That pitcher was super lame.  Probably a good bowler though

Erin Andrews: I see here you had one catch though, good job
Blade: Ya that was basically on accident.

Erin Andrews: Oooh and about 3 errors
Blade: One time I fell down because I ran from the dirt (dry) to the grass (wet) and ate it

Erin Andrews: Wow your stock is way down right now. What do you think happened?  Obviously by looking at you I can tell it’s not because you slacked in your conditioning and weight training
Blade: Ya it’s not that, i think I’m just in a hole, and i’m going to have to dig myself out (dumb and dumber).  I need to go back to my roots, I mean yesterday I didn’t even have my fanny pack so I was just walking around with belongings in my hands, it was completely ridiculous

Erin Andrews (grinning): i could kind of see your boxers through your white shorts
Blade: I know Erin

Erin Andrews: Still wanna go to aspen??
Blade: OH yeah!!!
